Question:

Hello! I have a 2006 Thomas Saf-T-Liner school bus that I converted to an RV, I’m trying to buy a hitch for it so I can tow a car and a dolly behind it. Looking for heavy duty hitch that is rated to at least 7500 pounds is what I’m thinking. Thank you for the help!

Expert Reply:

The best option to add a hitch to your 2006 Thomas Saf-T-Liner School Bus is going to be the Curt Class 5 Universal Weld-on Hitch w/ Brackets item # C97CR. This is a universal hitch that fits frames from 18" to 62" wide. This is our highest rated universal hitch and it has a 20,000 lbs towing capacity. The included brackets will drop of 9" from your bus's frame. There are no custom fit hitches for your Thomas Sf-T-Liner and this is going to need to be welded to your frame for the capacity you requested.

For a narrower frame of 18" - 44" wide you'll need the Curt Class 5 Universal Weld-on Hitch with Brackets item # C47CR.

You will want to verify your school buses towing capacity before flat towing.
